DOUGLAS BROOKS

Dr. Douglas P. Brooks, M.D. is the founder and owner of Men’s Health of Parkersburg, a male‑only Direct Primary Care concierge practice. He emphasizes an evidence‑based, patient‑centered approach, aiming to provide the “absolute best experience” by spending ample time listening to each patient’s story, creating individualized care plans, and offering direct communication via phone, text, and video chat. Brooks believes that a DPC model allows him to focus on preventive health, chronic disease management, and men’s specific wellness concerns without the constraints of traditional insurance billing.

He completed a Family Medicine residency at the University of South Carolina’s Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital in 2000.
